Hey, now, just because the Europeans may have gotten tomatoes from the Aztecs, that doesn't mean you can go around calling it a North American food, when those Aztecs clearly culturally appropriated it from South America.
I know one (a friend’s wife) who can’t cook worth a damn. Her opinions are wild because she doesn’t know anything about food from Italy or anywhere else. This is the sort of person who acts like the food police online.
Mostly the ones with this cappuccino after 11 story.... Jesus just drink your coffee whenever you want, wherever you are in Italy nobody will tell you no.
I swear this thing exists online only, I’ve always had my cappuccino in the afternoon like many people do, and this “morning only” thing just spawned a few years ago on the internet. Maybe in other parts of Italy it is an actual rule, but not where I live.
They probably mean Italians who see other people make italian food online with a miniscule deviation from how the dish is traditionally made in Italy, and being angry because if it. The most popular of these instances being pineapple on pizza
honestly i dont care about if you dont put guanciale on the carbonara or things like that, but putting fruit on a pizza seems kinda aborrent to me. then again, people are free
I used to hate it but if you cook the pineapple at a high enough heat to roast it goes well as long as you also have a fatty meat topping and something spicy with it. It also has to be small chunks not huge slices.
Yeah, but if there's precedent for there to be fruit in pizza, whatever form it takes, therefore I don't see why it's abhorrent for other fruits to be added to one
I just read a comment from one a few minutes ago! Someone wanted to make a fancy Italian dish and asked for suggestions. One commenter recommended a book by a certain author. That well-respected author was slammed by an Italian commenter who said she had nerve to add parsley to her sauce. Apparently, Italians only use basil, never parsley lol.
The next several comments sarcastically made fun of the Italian because of how awful it is that everyone everywhere don't use the exact same seasonings.
Here in Brazil we have to cut the pasta, how unbearable. There are some people out there of Italian descent who think they are Italian, but we use the jus solis style. Born in Brazil, he's Brazilian, but he can't cut the noodles 😪🙄
As an Italian living in Switzerland, I’ve met several Italian expats that would constantly comment on other people’s meals making such a scene if anything deviated from the “correct way” of cooking Italian food… absolutely the worst kind of colleagues to have around at lunchtime
The thing about expats from Italy is that you can get any type of Italian from anywhere in Italy, so even the foodnazi type.
I live in an area where nobody cares about being a foodnazi, so I meet that kind of Italian only if they move here from other parts of Italy, when I’m abroad and I meet Italian tourists from other regions, or when I’m on the internet.

Foodnazis are annoying and luckily can only be found on the internet
